Rimadyl, also known by its generic name carprofen, is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) commonly prescribed for dogs to relieve pain and inflammation, particularly related to arthritis or after surgery. While it is effective for managing mild to moderate pain, it is not considered as strong as opioid pain relievers. Always consult a veterinarian to determine the appropriate medication and dosage for a specific dog's needs.
